CMB Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 When I received my Suton brush after winning it on Ebay I was a little annoyed to find a previous owner had glued the tow hitch to the body, as I had worked out you could have it in different positions. I had a look underneath, and there seems to be some circular retaining clip or spring missing. Does anyone know where I can get one of these (short of pirating a complete one) or what is the best alternative? I looked for some small washers in my local Travis Perkins then a plumbers supply shop, but nothing would fit .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The grip washer that pushes over the pin under the yard brush is the same ones that are on the Acrobat hay rake, handle on the Mule-dozer and quite a lot of other Britain's implements of that period with moving parts, if I think of any more they're on I'll let you know. The spring is easy to replace, cut down an old ballpoint pen spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 have a look in halfords, as they do small clips ect like those, as for spring same as tim said really,otherwise if your going to spalding or toytrac, have a gander in the scrap parts bozes most sellers have, bound to be a broken mueldoze linkage or similar in one always is when i have looked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
